According to the Riv website, you can't (or shouldn't, anyway) put standard-sized mountain bike off-road tires on the Atlantis. They say it takes tires up to 52 mm. If you walk into your LBS and ask to buy a mountain bike tire, they'll show you tires that are 2.1 in (53.3 mm), 2.35 in (59.6 mm) or 2.5 in (63.5 mm). 26 x 1.5 tires are not as common; I know this because that's what I use on my Atlantis and I've from time to time gone to a bike shop to try to find a replacement, with little success. The Hunqa and Bomba suggested tire sizes go up to 55 mm. So they'll accept the narrower 2.1 inch mountain bike tires, but not wider ones. -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
